POOR PILGRIM
R. N. Dett, 1927, "Religious Folk-Songs of the Negro," p. 169 with score. This is the same version found in George Pullen Jackson, 1933, "White Spirituals in the Southern Uplands, p. 271.
The song was popular with both Blacks and whites.

Origin in the 1840s?? In print in the 1850s in white hymnals.
